RV’s/TRAILERS are not allowed in some campsites and are not advisable on

PARKING ALLOWED IN DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS ONLY (not off paved or gravel).

NO EQUIPMENT SET-UP including, but not limited to a tent/awning, volleyball net, croquet set, gas grill, event table and chairs, outside of your registered campsite,
as this may create hazards for other park users.

Pets must be leashed at all times! Owners are responsible for clean up. Owners
of dangerous or disturbing animals (especially barking dogs) may be asked to remove
pet(s) from the Park.

Chasing or harassing wildlife in any way is prohibited. Turkeys, rabbits,
deer, seals and otters are best viewed from a distance as to not disturb them. If
you are concerned about a particular animal, please contact Park staff.

Paths are for foot traffic only. Skating and bicycle, skateboard, and moped
riding is allowed on park roads only and is prohibited in all other areas.

No cliff climbing. The cliffs in the Parks are not stable and climbing can
create rockslides and potential hazards.

No firewood gathering. Burning beach logs damages our firerings, and we prefer
to manage fallen limbs and trees in the park ourselves. Firewood is generally available
for purchase at the Park office for a modest charge.

Fires in established fire pits only. Fires must be extinguished by 10:30 P.M.
It is illegal to leave a fire unattended.
Put your fire out completely before going to bed or leaving the campground. Fires
may not be permitted during certain hazardous times of the year. Beach fires are
not permitted.

Water is limited in the islands. Please do not run water continuously; wash
items in containers. No vehicle or boat washing. No filling RV tanks. Please help
us use water wisely.
